Loading multiple items on truck

Hi,

I want the truck to load 5 items at once, and then unload 5 items afterwards. However, the truck loads 1, then unloads 1, then loads 1, then unloads 1, and so forth. I also want the truck to do this multiple times, but the created tokens stop Create TS.

Here is the file: Load multiple items, truck.fsm

I am unable to find a solution, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to create an array of items to load in your label, or load the first item in the queue as part of your load activity. At the moment you're not changing the reference to item so your 5 subflow calls load the same one 5 times.

Once you have an array (called eg. 'items') you can unload each element by setting 'item' to the an element of the array found by creationRank when calling your unload subflow.

There are many examples of this here on the site and also in the tutorials.
